I believe I've heard that there's nothing remarkable
about this one. As always, the only way it can cause
you any harm is if you execute it while you have root
privileges, which is something most current users would
sort of have to go out of their way to do.
Linux is definitely not "immune" in principle (and
those who say that it is are doing everybody involved
a disservice) but we'll need to have (and probably will
eventually get) some Linux VPLs into widespread use before
malicious code like this poses a substantial threat.
VPL == Virus Propagation Language.
Examples include: ActiveX, IIS, M$Word macros, Outlook,
VBscript, Windows Scripting Host, Exchange, etc...
